Nationals-Yankees game canceled

The Nationals and Yankees never had a chance today. It was called because of rain at about 9 a.m. before the Yankees even had a chance to arrive in Viera. (The bus had left, I was told, so it must have turned around.) No flyovers are planned.

The Nationals aren't quite sure what they're going to do with their pitching and Jim Riggleman and Steve McCatty are meeting to figure it out right now. Jason Marquis and Matt Chico were going to be the day's starting pitchers. Yesterday, scheduled starters John Lannan and Craig Stammen couldn't pitch in a game and they threw simulated games in the bullpen.

Riggleman said Stephen Strasburg and Livan Hernandez will "likely" remain on track to both pitch Sunday.
